Event Date: Thursday, September 6, 2012
The Department has organized a series of ‘BIOYANTRA’ a National Level Technical Event in the yester years. With the success story of the event, this year it is organized with the theme: “Improved Patient Health Care Delivery by Connecting Biomedical Industry, Academia and Hospital”.
Health related problems are increasing every year. Also, the longevity of the general population has increased significantly. This increases the demand of health care services. In order to deliver better health care delivery to all, medical professionals require newer sophisticated medical devices/equipments in almost all the specializations of medicine, surgery, and therapy. This requirement may be fulfilled by the biomedical engineer by designing and fabricating the prototype of the same. This is usually supported by an industry. After finishing several trails, and validation, the technology may be patented and commercialized. The academia, who is offering Biomedical Engineering (BME) Course, takes an effort to deliver the knowledge to the budding engineer in order to meet the requirements of both hospital and biomedical industry. Biomedical engineer ensures quality control of all diagnostic as well as therapeutic equipments. But, there is a knowledge gap between these three groups that will hamper the better health care delivery. Hence, this event is an attempt to bridge the gap between biomedical industry, engineer, and hospital. Ultimately, the society is benefited out hopefully. It also provides a platform for exposure to latest innovations in medical equipment and its regulations.
• Brings academic, hospital and industrial biomedical engineering communities together
• Connects students/academic community to real world commercial opportunities
• Focus on entrepreneurship
• Promote and support experiential educational opportunities in product design, innovation, and entrepreneurship
LEAD SPEAKERS & DEMONSTRATION OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE/ EQUIPMENT
